How many baseball blogs/websites do you have bookmarked?

Chaos81 — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 22:22:00 GMT

I've got about forty bookmarked. Ten or so that I visit every day, with another ten to fifteen that I visit more than once a week.

Even if you don't have any/many bookmarked, how many do you visit on a daily basis?

Wetteland suicide attempt?

pitchingcoach36 — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 02:18:11 GMT

I heard on sports radio that a 911 call happened and then an adult male later identified as Mariners bullpen coach John Wetteland was taken into custody saying, "I need help. "

How come it's so hard to find a pic of what Big-Mac looks like today.

I know we will see him soon, but I would to see if he is still big like he did when he played. It's like a mystery.

2009: AL Gold Glove Winners

C: Joe Mauer, Twins
1B: Mark Teixeira, Yankees
2B: Placido Polanco, Tigers
3B: Evan Longoria, Rays
SS: Derek Jeter, Yankees
OF: Torii Hunter, Angels
OF: Adam Jones, Orioles
OF: Ichiro Suzuki, Mariners
P: Mark Buehrle, White Sox

Only one that stands out to me as a WTF pick is Adam Jones.

I am probably biased being a die hard Royals fan but comparing Adam Jones' stats to David DeJesus', I'm not sure I understand Jones' selection.. Really the only categories Jones' beats DeJesus in is because Jones' is a center fielder therefor he will get more chances and consequently putouts..
